Seriously. This recipe makes one gigantic batch of super delicious and creamy king ranch chicken casserole. It’s the kind of chicken casserole you want to make over and over again. It’s filling and did I mention it’s super delicious?

One day I was shopping in one of my favorite stores in Lakeland, Scout and Tag. Not kidding when I say I go in there every time I’m in Lakeland. I oooh and aaaah over just about everything in the store. Lakeland is my hometown so I appreciate the homage Scout and Tag pays to it. I also appreciate the extensive collection of craft-fully painted solid wood furniture, homemade pillows and Rafa Naturals scented wax. That stuff is da bomb, yo.

So anyways, one day I’m shopping in Scout and Tag. First I walk around the store, drooling over the gorgeous furniture. Then I grab a pack of wax melts because I’m kinda obsessed with them. Finally, I make my final stride towards the cash register. Then it happens: I spot The Southerner’s Cookbook. MUST HAVE.

Not a surprise: I bought the cookbook. Later that day, I flipped through the pages, practically drooling over the gorgeous shots of southern inspired recipes. I made a list of the recipes I would make stat. King Ranch Chicken was on the list.

King ranch chicken is easy to make but ingredient heavy. Don’t let that deter you from making the recipe, though. The time and minimal effort are totally worth the resulting creamy chicken casserole. Did I mention the casserole will feed a crowd? We fed both of us plus my mom and we had leftovers for 2 days afterwards. My mom took leftovers home with her. So whether you’re looking to feed a crowd for a night or feed a couple for a few days, this recipe fits the bill. :)

Great casserole – love the fresh, roasted poblano peppers. I know they can be hot sometimes so I would be sure to taste before adding. Thanks for sharing your King Ranch casserole with all the party goers at Fiesta Friday.
